Is the Rives Audio Parc an audiophile component


Just reading about this Rives Audio Parc , and was wondering if this is truly an audiophile component for a 2 channel system. Any experience thoughts would be appreciated. Would somwone actually add this unit to a $50K system?

Yes, it truly is! I added it to my $80k (2 channel only) system with reservation. I had an 18dB peak at 42Hz and a 16dB peak at 63Hz. Buy the time I had enough tube traps to kill the boom I had deleted all the life from my music. I thought I was going to have to move or just live with it. Then, I read the article in TAS or Sterophile (I forget).

You can't tell that it is in the chain - really! I have Spectral/Wilson/MIT/VPI/Audio Research equip and it is very ruthless when it comes to bad sounding additions. I was amazed at how much clearer and more accurate the music became. Never mind the fact that it's way more fun to listen. Your head bobs, your feet tap - just like a live presentation.

Get it and try it. They have a 30 day return policy. I found takes about 2 weeks for break in but, that could have been the new interconnects as well.

Good luck, Greg
